foundational concepts for midwives
OUR MISSION
Our desire is to offer to birthworkers, a deeper understanding of the physiology and hormonal processes of normal reproduction, as well as a deep trust in their own unique individualized intuition in their own practice. We have come to realize that most current training in midwifery is deeply enmeshed in the obstetrical model that pregnancy and birth are pathology with the constant fear of 'what can go wrong'. It is our hope to bring the wisdom of our fore mothers back to the foundation of our birthing culture. We believe the foundational concepts used for this training can open a deeper understanding that will enable you to develop confidence in your intuition and embodied knowledge, no matter where this journey takes you

The advice that you should be able to create a reasonable differential diagnosis from your history and physical before ordering tests is essential. Instead of using labs/testing to create that differential diagnosis list. Look at the person.

We are so excited to announce the launch of our newest offering! We are opening limited spots for you to join us virtually for a whole year, dedicating our time and energy to deepening our knowledge of the Foundational Concepts surrounding the birthing continuum.
This Collective is an online community for those interested in exploring a deeper understanding of reproduction as a holistic and intertwined process. Created in response to requests from midwives and birth workers looking for mentors, peers, and an immersive experience without leaving their homes and communities.

I honestly don’t know if we took away labs and testing if most could do it <use critical thinking to discern the presenting issue>! That’s <one of the things> what we want to shift!
We balance the foundational framework for each course we create with a carefully curated curriculum that is flexible to meet each host and their community’s needs and resources. Our core value of building a strong community through relationships is paramount. This is woven into each aspect of our workshops. Without building strong villages between birth workers and in turn, the families they serve, the art of midwifery cannot be the strong intuitive community tool it was always meant to be. As we bring our workshops all over the nation, our overall goal is to build a community through mentorship with those who attend our workshops and desire further connection and wisdom.
